According to Russ Hardy, The May Show Chair and Gualala Arts Board member, The May Show was created to complement Gualala Arts' highly successful annual summer art festival, Art in the Redwoods, with an intimate juried event which would attract participation by local artists as well as by artists from around the state and the nation. The exhibit includes 20 artists from The Sea Ranch, Gualala and Point Arena, and 16 from around northern California and beyond, including three from outside California, roughly in proportion to the entries. On Thursday May 6, at 7:00 p.m., the Gualala Arts Lecture Series presents Lucinda Barnes on Material Witness: Artists Respond to a Changing World. The May Show exhibit continues on display through June 6. Remember, the Opening Reception is on Friday and not the traditional second Saturday.
